Pacific Journalism Review is a peer-reviewed journal covering communication, journalism and media studies in Australia, New Zealand the Asia-Pacific region. Founded at the University of Papua New Guinea in 1994, it is now published by AUT University’s Pacific Media Centre and has links with the University of the South Pacific. While one objective is research into Pacific journalism theory and practice, the journal has expanded into research and inquiry that reflect the broader impact of contemporary media practice and education.
A particular focus is on the cultural politics of the media, including the following issues – digital media and social movements, indigenous cultures in the age of globalisation, the politics of development, the role of the media and the formation of national identity and the cultural influence of New Zealand as a branch of the global economy within the Asia-Pacific region. It also has a special interest in environmental and development studies and communication – and the vernacular media in the region.
